Missee Lee, 1st edn 1943 (3rd printing) (Arthur Ransome)

So a couple of years on and the jacket illustrations are already less delicate. The reviews on the back panel now include The Big Six, and the wartime Ministry of Information has updated the exhortations on the back flap aimed at readers abroad.

Note that the front flap labels this jacket as the Second Impression despite the fact that it came from a 3rd printing of the book. The price of the books has risen to 8s 6d net.
